J. Hector Bustos - Columbian Naïf Oil Painter (1930 - 2005)

His paintings, characteristic of naïf art are extremely detailed, filled with intricate patterns and brilliant, saturated colors -- in essence, fine naïf art.

A native of Columbia, J. Hector Bustos’ art was recognized internationally for decades with over twenty major exhibitions in Europe, the United Stated and Canada. The classic beauty and perfection of his naïf work place him among the finest practitioners of this school of art.

As with all great naïf painters who follow the traditional guidelines for the genre, Mr. Bustos captures a highly specific and individual world. Frequently his art contains spiritual and metaphysical messages woven into charming images of jungle animals and simple village events.

Hector's art takes us into a world of childlike joy, communion with nature and the gentle rhythm of a country village.
